Access to the site and its use are strictly for personal ends. You undertake not to use this site or the information or data it contains for commercial, political or advertising purposes, nor for any form of canvassing, nor in particular for the sending of unsolicited email.

Article 3 – Site Content – Intellectual Property

All the brands, photographs, texts, comments, illustrations, animated and still images, video sequences, sounds, as well as all the computer applications used to run this site, and more generally all elements reproduced or used on the site are protected by the intellectual property laws in force.

They are fully owned by the publisher or its partners. Any reproduction, representation, use or adaptation, in any form whatsoever, of all or part of these elements, including computer applications, are strictly forbidden unless with the publisher’s prior written agreement. The fact that the publisher has not initiated criminal proceedings as soon as they became aware of such unauthorised use implies neither acceptance of such uses, nor non-prosecution.

Article 4 – Site Management

For smooth management of the site, the publisher is able to:
– suspend, interrupt or limit access to all or part of the site, restrict access to the site, or certain areas of it, to a pre-set category of user
– delete any data liable to disturb the site’s operation or which contravenes national or international law, or the rules of Netiquette
– suspend the site for the purposes of updates

Article 5 – Liability

The publisher cannot accept any liability in the event of a fault, breakdown, difficulty or interruption to operation that prevents access to the site or any of its functionalities.

The equipment you use to connect to the site is fully your own responsibility. It is up to you to take all appropriate action to protect your own equipment and data, in particular against virus attacks via the internet. Further, you alone are responsible for the sites and data you consult.

The publisher cannot be held liable in the event of legal proceedings being taken against you:
– as a result of use of the site or any service accessible via the internet
– as a result of your failure to respect these terms and conditions

The publisher is not liable for damage caused to yourself, to third parties and/or to your equipment as a result of your connection to or use of the site, and because of this, you undertake not to bring legal proceedings against the publisher.

Should the publisher become subject to any amicable or legal proceedings as a result of your use of the site, they can seek recourse from you to get compensation for any damages, sums, convictions and costs that may have arisen as a result of these proceedings.

Article 6 – Hypertext Links

You are strictly forbidden from inserting any hypertext links pointing to all or any part of the site, except with the publisher’s prior written authorisation, requested by email to: contact@epi-ingredients.com

The publisher is free to refuse such authorisation without providing any justification for their decision. In the event that the publisher were to accord this authorisation, it would in any case only be temporary and could be revoked at any time, without the publisher being under any obligation to justify this decision.

In all cases, any such link must be removed upon a simple request from the publisher.

Any information accessible via a link to other sites is beyond the control of the publisher, who declines all responsibility as to the content of any such site.

Article 7 – Data Collection

Personal data that may be collected on the site is mainly used by the publisher to manage relations with you. It is saved to the publisher’s customer file, and the file thus constituted of personal data is declared to the CNIL (French Data Protection Authority).

Pursuant to French law 78-17 of 6th January 1978 as amended by the French Data Protection Act, you have the right to access, consult and modify or delete any data concerning you. This right may be exercised at any time by writing to the publisher, either by email: contact@epi-ingredients.com or by post: Epi Ingredients – Marketing Manager – ZI HERMITAGE – 44150 ANCENIS – France.

The publisher undertakes to keep this data strictly confidential; it can under no circumstances be used for commercial or political ends.

Where certain data is compulsory for accessing specific site functionalities, the publisher explicitly mentions its compulsory nature at the time of data entry. Should you fail to provide this compulsory data, the publisher will be unable to process your request.

However, you acknowledge having being informed that:
– the data collected may ultimately be communicated to third parties contractually linked to the publisher for the execution of subcontracted tasks necessary to the management of your account, and this without your authorisation being sought
– in the event of a proven violation of the legal or regulatory provisions, this data could be the subject of a communication at the express and justified request of the legal authorities
– personal data collected from areas of the site relating to jobs and recruitment will be kept for 2 years for those candidates not employed, and, in the event of employment, 3 years after the termination of your duties, in accordance with the provisions of ruling EQTU03001007A of 30/07/2003

This data will be destroyed as soon as the above-defined period is over, or at your request. The publisher will do all they can to implement the changes requested without delay.
If, during consultation of the site, you access personal data, you should abstain from any collection, unauthorised use as well as from any act that might constitute an invasion of privacy or an attack on anyone’s reputation. The publisher declines all responsibility in respect of this.
